    Some residents of Abuja and Lagos have started flouting the directive to stay at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

    On March 29, President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered a 14-day lockdown in Ogun, Lagos and Abuja as a measure to check the pandemic.

    But some residents had been complaining about the effect of the lockdown, expressing their inability to meet their demands.
